People on Tiri
 |
Mary-Ann RowlandMary-Ann manages the shop and the guiding operation on Tiri. Along with the DoC ranger on duty, she helps to welcome the daily visitors as they disembark and then matches them with a suitable walk and a guide. She co-ordinates our volunteers who operate the shop and lead the guided walks, organizes their training and provides them with regular updates on what's happening on the Island. |
David JenkinsDave is one of our two permanent Department of Conservation rangers. He has vast experience of the Island and carries out a huge range of tasks in his busy working day. |
 |
 |
Nicola BradyNicola is our first Summer Ranger. She will be concentrating on meeting and greeting our daily visitors and volunteers and making sure they have a wonderful time on the Island. |
Jess ClarkeJess is our second permanent ranger and arrived on Tiri in November 2011 after spending a year on Raoul Island. Hopefully, she will find living on Tiri a bit less remote than Raoul. |

Barbara and Ray WalterRay was the last resident lighthouse keeper on Tiri and became our first ranger, soon to be joined by Barbara. The contribution made by these two in the foundation of Tiri as an open reserve, in the planting programme and the visitor experience has created a legacy which will surely last as long as the Island itself. |
Jim BattersbyJim was the founding chairperson of the Tiritiri Matangi Supporters. His drive and foresight has contributed to the successful organisation that we are today. |
 |
 |
Peter LeePeter is the current chairperson of the Supporters of Tiritiri Matangi. He leads an enthusiastic set of committee members and is an able manager and negotiator on behalf of the Supporters. |
And finally ...
GregWhile not a human person, Greg is very definitely a personality on Tiri. He is our oldest Takahe and plainly feels he owns the Island and that the daily visitors are organised for his entertainment. At 19 years old in December 2011, he is now a senior figure - long may he continue!In the photo Greg is in the centre with his then partner Cheesecake on the right and their chick Ella on the left. |
